Just hours after raising tariffs on Indian imports to 50 percent, US President Donald Trump warned of potential secondary sanctions on India for continuing oil trade with Russia, Firstpost reported .
When questioned about why India was being targeted while others like China also buy Russian oil, Trump said, “It’s only been eight hours. Let’s see what happens,” hinting at more sanctions to come.
The warning comes amid rising US pressure on countries to reduce economic ties with Russia over the war in Ukraine. Asked whether a future Russia-Ukraine peace deal could reverse the new tariffs, Trump said the decision would come later, according to Firstpost.
